Thank you for trying out Minetest.
Are you a new user?
Have a look at our Getting Started, FAQ and Tutorials pages on our wiki.

You may also want to look at some subgames. Subgames form a foundation for the game using Lua scripts. Different subgames have different objectives, such as survival, building or Player vs Player. Usually Minetest comes with minetest_game, to supply the default items and blocks.

You can also install it easily from the Google Play Store or from F-Droid.

Note: Please do not download unofficial Minetest builds from the Google Play app store. The builds found there may contain excessive adverts or spyware. They may be distributed under proprietary terms, without the source code, which makes them illegal to develop. They may be old or unsupported.

FreeBSD

There is a FreeBSD port.

You can compile minetest and minetest_game from sources or use pkg (on FreeBSD 9.1 and newer).

Compilation method

You can compile minetest and choose easily minetest options using the FreeBSD port dialogs.

    cd /usr/ports/games/minetest
    make install
    cd /usr/ports/games/minetest_game
    make install

Package method

FreeBSD official packages have their own pre-built packages: pkg install minetest minetest_game

You will probably want minetest_game. Put the game in your games directory.
